Arthritic diets and natural healing
There is a great deal of debate in the medical world about the
effects of overall diet on arthritis and using diet toward
alleviating the condition. Doctors have known for a long time
that diet affects gout, a specific type of arthritic condition,
however the jury remained out for a long time on other common
types of arthritis such as rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.
However, overall dietary health is important and does come into
play. Being overweight can affect certain arthritic conditions,
forcing some joints to carry more of a load. This added weight
stresses the joints, causing overuse or more wear to components,
and pain, especially in the knees. So making sure arthritic
sufferers eat god foods and get help from healthcare providers
to create and follow a well-balanced dietary plan is advised. To
begin, here is a look at some vitamins, minerals, nutrients /
foods and some herbal applications to consider. VITAMINS Vitamin
B5 - When grouped and tanked together, B vitamins work at their
peak. They, and B5 specifically, are good for reducing swelling.
Vitamin B3 - This vitamin reduces tissue swelling and dilates
small arteries, increasing blood flow. Note that Vitamin B3 is
NOT advised for persons with high blood pressure, gout or sliver
disorders. Vitamin B6 - Another B that reduces tissue swelling.
Vitamin B12 - This vitamin aids in multiple functions. It helps
with cell formation, digestion, myelin production, nerve
protection. Vitamin C - This vitamin acts as an
anti-inflammatory, relieving pain, and rids the body of free
radicals. Vitamin E - This is a strong antioxidant that protects
joints from free radicals while increases joint flexibility.
Vitamin K - This vitamin assists with mineral deposit into the
bone matrix.
MINERALS Boron - This trace mineral aids in bone health. Calcium
- This is a much-needed mineral for bone health. Magnesium -
Magnesium helps keep calcium in balance within the system. Zinc
- This mineral is necessary for bone growth, but is often
lacking in arthritic patients.
Manganese - Manganese is also
necessary for bone growth. However, do not ingest manganese with
calcium because they can work against each other. Copper -
Copper helps to strengthen connective tissue. Germanium - This
antioxidant helps with pain relief. Sulfur - A lack of sulfur
can result in deterioration of ligaments, cartilage, collagen
and tendons. NUTRIENT COMBOS Chondroitin Sulfate - This
lubrication in joints, joint fluid and connective tissue, can be
found in the sea cucumber. Gelatin - Help with raw cartilage
replenishing with this cheap source. Glucosamine Sulfate - This
combo is necessary for tendon, ligament, bone, cartilage, and
synovial (joint) fluid formation. Quercetin - This helps with
inflammation reduction. Type II Collagen - Use this for growth
and repair of joints, articular cartilage and connective tissue.
OTHER FACTORS
There are many factors to consider with regards to arthritic
diets and nutritional healing, and each factor may not apply to
each individual. For example, certain people are allergic to
specific foods, and these allergies can indeed worsen arthritic
conditions. Ingesting foods that contain sodium nitrate or
tartrazine can inflame rheumatoid arthritis, while ingesting
foods containing a substance called hydrazine can contribute to
systemic lupus erythematosus, an arthritic condition connected
to lupus. There is a rare type of arthritis called Behcet's
Disease, and eating black walnuts can cause flare-ups in people
with this rare condition. So as you see, there is a variety of
arthritic conditions and along with them a variety of foods that
may trigger them. The best way to approach the situation is to
examine each arthritic condition and tailor one's approach based
upon the specifics.
